Options and Settings

For visualization of the dataframe pandas.set_option

import pandas as pd #import pandas package# for visualisation fo the float data once we read the float data:pd.set_option('display.html.table_schema', True) # to can see the dataframe/table as a htmlpd.set_option('display.precision', 5) # setting up the precision point so can see the data how looks, here is 5df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(20,4)* 10 ** -12) # create random dataframe

Output of the data:

df.dtypes # check datatype for columns[output]:0    float641    float642    float643    float64dtype: object

And now write to_csv using the float_format='%.15f' parameter

df.to_csv('estc.csv',sep=',', float_format='%.15f') # write with precision .15

And now write to_csv using the float_format='%f' parameter

df.to_csv('estc.csv',sep=',', float_format='%f') # this will remove the extra zeros after the '.'

For more details check pandas.DataFrame.to_csv


Use the float_format argument:

In [11]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(3, 3) * 10 ** 12)In [12]: dfOut[12]:              0             1             20  1.757189e+12 -1.083016e+12  5.812695e+111  7.889034e+11  5.984651e+11  2.138096e+112 -8.291878e+11  1.034696e+12  8.640301e+08In [13]: print(df.to_string(float_format='{:f}'.format))                     0                     1                   20 1757188536437.788086 -1083016404775.687134 581269533538.1702881  788903446803.216797   598465111695.240601 213809584103.1124572 -829187757358.493286  1034695767987.889160    864030095.691202

Which works similarly for to_csv:

df.to_csv('df.csv', float_format='{:f}'.format, encoding='utf-8')


If you would like to use the values as formated string in a list, say as part of csvfile csv.writier, the numbers can be formated before creating a list:

with open('results_actout_file','w',newline='') as csvfile:     resultwriter = csv.writer(csvfile, delimiter=',')     resultwriter.writerow(header_row_list)     resultwriter.writerow(df['label'].apply(lambda x: '%.17f' % x).values.tolist())
